Tasmania's Day of Shame
Margaret Tighe, President of Right to Life Australia said today (17/4/13) that the passage through the Tasmanian House of Assembly of the worst abortion bill in the western world, with draconian penalties for those who protest against abortion and counsellors who advise against abortion is a day of shame for Australia’s smallest state.
“Indeed” said Mrs Tighe, “should the legislation pass the Legislative Council and become law, it will represent the worst event in Tasmania’s history since the Port Arthur massacre”.
